The sooner that we upgrade to steampunk the better!

[Mephansteras]

Since steam power is favored, I begin work on the access lift to unlock that level.



Shortly afterwards we get notification that a new enemy, human sympathizers of the aliens, has been discovered. They are called Exalt.




They have stolen some of our cash reserves using a cell in Egypt. We need to send in an operative to infiltrate their base so we can neutralize it.

Fish and Doc are still in Med bay but everyone else is an option. The Operative will be going in with nothing but a pistol, so it is a bit risky for them. Speed is usually their best bet for survival. Heavies cannot be operatives.

Who do we send? They will be on the mission for several days before we send in the rescue team, so whoever we send will be unavailable if the aliens attack in the meantime.

Doc demands to be let out of the Medbay.

Now.

[Yoink]

*gasp* How dare they!
See, if we had those plasma pistols, this wouldn't be quite such a scary prospect...

[GiglameshDespair]

What class is the new rickenbacker?

[Mephansteras]

What class is the new rickenbacker?

Rookie, for now.

[Mephansteras]

No votes at all on who to send?

[Worldmaster27]

I'll go if no one else volunteers.

[darkpaladin109]

I don't want to volunteer Bloodbeard since he hasn't even gone to a mission yet.

[Yoink]

I'd like to go, but Whitman is still kind of a newb so he'd probably die and we'd fail. Unless our only volunteers are rookies, he'll stay seated.
What sort of armour is he wearing in the OP, by the way?

[Mephansteras]

He's in the default style Carapace Armor.

[RAM]

No real preference on who to send, I just want the surveillance feed delivered to my hospital bed along with some popcorn...

[Mephansteras]

Time to make a decision.


Centurion has volunteered for the mission, as she is the most qualified.



Sectoid Autopsy is completed.



And we start working on the Autopsy for the Seekers.



The lift is complete, and while we don't have money for a Steam Generator we can at least excavate out the steam chamber.


-- Bradford: A new UFO contact has come in. This one is much bigger than anything we've faced before.
-- COMMANDER: Our fighters may be outmatched. We'll have to pull out a few tricks for this one.


-- Shen: We have some advanced systems made from scavenged alien tech. They'll help, but I don't know if it'll be enough.
-- COMMANDER: We can hope. Launch the fighters!






Fighter: Disengaging, we can't keep up!
-- COMMANDER: Launch the next fighter!



-- Bradford: Second figher shot down, sir! We've failed.
-- COMMANDER: Damn it! We need to get better weapons on those fighter craft!



In other news, the Genetics lab is completed. We're broke now, but once we have money again we can start enhancing our soldiers.


We complete the Autopsy of the seekers, and unlock some new tech options.







We move on to the Thin Man Autopsy.



Centurion has signaled us that she is ready for extraction. Who shall we send?

This Exalt mission should be pretty easy. They likely just have ballistic weapons, so our Lasers and Carapace armor should give us an edge. Not that we can afford to be too complacent about it.

[Yoink]

I feel like shootin' some folks! I'll go!
Does that respiratory implant count as an item, i.e. replacing a grenade or nanofibre vest?

[Darkening Kaos]

Yes.

   Kaos will volunteer, and she will swap her 'nade for a SCOPE.  Gotta see the targets better to hit them.
